feat(stdlib): finish Crypto (CSPRNG + base64) and add Uuid.* library (#19 #16)
Crypto (#19): add the OS cryptographically-secure random surface
(random_bytes/random_hex/random_u32, reading /dev/urandom) and a standard
base64 encoder, completing the library alongside the existing SHA-256/
HMAC-SHA256/verify_hmac/hex/ct_equal. All pure integer IR, C-free.

Uuid (#16): a new namespace for stable, collision-free IDs — v4 (random) and
v7 (time-ordered) generation, plus parse/is_valid/to_text/equals/nil. UUIDs are
canonical lowercase 36-char strings; v4 and v7's random tail draw from the
crypto CSPRNG, so both carry the documented determinism caveat (mint at the
edges, never inside lockstep simulation). Reuses the crypto prelude's
fn_secure_bytes / fn_hex_encode.

- examples/library/{crypto,uuid}.ludic: known-answer vectors (SHA-256, HMAC,
  base64 per RFC 4231/4648) and structural invariants (uuid version/variant
  bits, parse/equals), wired into `x test` (now 51 passed).
- docs: per-symbol pages for every new method + a new Uuid section; inventory
  and impl-vs-docs coverage check pass.
- seed regenerated; `x bootstrap-cfree` fixpoint holds.

uuid-parse Uuid.parse uuid namespace-method Uuid.parse Uuid.parse(s) -> string Normalise an untrusted string to a lowercase UUID, or the nil UUID. 5 Uuid parse

Normalises an untrusted string: if s is a well-formed UUID it returns the same value in canonical lowercase form; if it is not, it returns the nil UUID. This never faults on garbage, so it is safe to call on data that arrived from a file, a network peer, or a mod. When you need to reject bad input rather than fold it to nil, gate on Uuid.is_valid first.

Parsing accepts either case and yields the lowercase canonical form, which is what the rest of the library produces — so a parsed ID compares equal (with ==) to a freshly generated one of the same value.

Parameters:

  • s — the string to validate and normalise
program Parse {
  entry {
    let id = Uuid.parse("550E8400-E29B-41D4-A716-446655440000")
    print(id[0..8])                          # 550e8400 — lowercased
    if Uuid.parse("nope") == Uuid.nil() { print(1) }
  }
}
